I lasted about 5 or 6 episodes before I quit. There was no need to add religion, terrorism, or global warming into the story lines to "modernize" it. It was done badly and in a completely uninteresting way. There were plenty of avenues in the original story line to work with (a vast empire with...

Absolutely. This would be the equivalent of malpractice if the police actually needed to be trained or licensed, and it's shocking that for a group that's given so much authority and leeway, that they are lacking in both.

Police (and others) often overestimate the ability of technology and don't comprehend its limitations. They assume that if a computer says there is a match, then, there must be a match because in their experience computers don't mess up. They fail to grasp, however, the difference between a...

The only saving grace here for Boeing is that these crashes took place overseas in poor / less powerful countries. They can try and push the narrative that it was poor maintenance and / or pilot error, and a significant number of people in the US will believe them. What I would like to know is...

I hope this doens't mean that we're not going to get a satisfying conclusion in GoT, but instead some sort of cliffhanger for the prequel....

So, for example, if I have a VPN road warrior set up, and I'm somewhere where the network is 10.0.0.1/24 but the VPN tunnel network happens to be 10.0.0.1/30? Changing the client network address is not practical (eg. it could be a coffee shop somewhere). Changing the tunnel network is just going...

byte b[256] if ([speculative execution]) byte v = [some memory address we don't have access to] byte i = b[v] The attack is done, now we just try to access each element of b, and the index of whichever one we can retrieve the fastest is the value we were trying to read. So, for...

So I was reading and finally got a handle on how Spectre / Meltdown and these side channel attacks work, which reminded me of this scene from The Office, which is a kind of a side-channel / timing attack by Oscar on Michael.

With most markets, all the investors are looking for gains. With Bitcoin however, there are people out there happy to lose money, if it comes out clean. A drug dealer would be happy to put in $100 of "dirty" money into bitcoin and get back $50 of "clean" money. The other $50 is in the Bitcoin...

So this is: 1) Payback for Kaspersky's role in unmasking Stuxnet as being created by Israel / US. 2) Projection for what the NSA is currently doing with American AV software. Similar to how the US Govt was so concerned about Chinese routers because they were so busy backdooring Cisco routers...

One excuse that I've seen floating around for the Zinke / Whitefish story is that this contract was awarded by Puerto Rico's utility company which has a huge debt that it's defaulting on, has little revenue, and no other company was willing to work on the utility's terms (work first, cash...

First, awesome episode. And I find it amusing that Alex Goldman ends up "destroying" Verma's social media accounts :) You gotta be kidding me. Or is it your argument that "we came in 1800 and left it 1950 no worse off that when we found it?" What's next? Blacks in the US should be thankful...

Are you really that confident in your ability to manually process something that grows outside, in the dirt, where the animals poop? What about your family and your children? The peace of mind that comes with the Juicero experts and the money-back guarantee is priceless.

Juicero has the genesis of a brilliant idea here. I have some suggestions, however: 1) Find a way to add some nutrients and fiber to the juice to make it healthy. Perhaps add some different textures to the various flavors while you're at it. 2) The packaging is bland and unappetizing. Add some...

This is so they can join and co-opt the message if the campaign is at all successful. They can say, we were part of the protest and the protest was because we want the right to run our network the way we want. They can at least muddy the waters and manufacture some discord.

According to some reports, this update should do away with forced reboots (link). This was the only thing I wanted, but it seems to be not working? Windows still seems to reboot when it feels like it....

Not a security expert either, but the salt doesn't have to be cryptographically secure (which wouldn't make sense because the salt is normally stored in plain text along with the password hash). I too would like to know what's wrong with the salt generator, other than possibly the low value of...

I'm at $40 for 50/5. I got this rate just before the merger (it used to be $35, new customer rate). Now, the new customer price is $45, so the non-promotional rate is probably ~$55-60. I'm guessing you're in an area that Time Warner didn't upgrade to Maxx speeds which is why you're paying more...

This is the Spectrum by Charter page for my address There is no way to find out the regular non-promotional price that you get charged after 1 year. It could by $100, it could be $1000. I've seen the same thing with DirecTV. Shouldn't crap like this be illegal? I forgot we have corrupt...

Real time scan turns back on automatically. I'm sure there's a group policy or something that will turn it off, but I haven't bothered searching. If you're referring to the FossHub hack, none of the antivirus software caught it (even with real-time scanning and what not). Antivirus provides a...
